Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“Why will I make things up, for start, you are in Solntsevo, right now, at that cheap ass hotel down south and your room number is**”

“Stop!”

Arielle yelled, cutting her off.

“What do you want from me, Lily? Why are you following me around?”

She asked, she didn’t know how Lily got her location so accurately. Now more than ever, she would make sure to move by morning. It was already too late to leave she would have, the neighborhood wasn’t good enough for her to walk around at night.

“Now we are talking, listen carefully and do as I say and both you and your parents will be just fine, but if you don’t do as I say, I can’t guarantee your safety,”

Lily said and Arielle could already tell she was about to do something impossible.

“What do you want?”

She asked and waited while biting hard on her lips, almost peeling them from fear and anxiety.

“See, what I want is very easy, you go to Luciano, you get him to hand over whatever shares he has of the Siegel empire to you and you will be free from me,”

Lily said and Arielle stood rooted wondering if she had heard her wrong.

“What did you say?”

She asked to be sure.

“You heard me the first time, I am not going to repeat myself, you have one week,”

Lily said and Arielle felt angry, who did she think she was to order her to do something like that and what makes her think she would do it, she tried to control herself but she couldn’t.

“I can’t do that Lily, I can’t, Luciano and I are no longer together, I told you that multiple times already, what makes you think he will listen to me? I haven’t even told him about you, why do you still come after me? Why are you still calling me, I didn’t speak to him or anyone about what you did, you told me to keep quiet and I did, you told me not to leave and I stayed but I won’t do this, you can’t make me,”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Arielle yelled on the phone, as frustrated tears welled up in her eyes, she should have left the phone off, she should not have taken her call.

“Do you even care about the people that birthed you? Do you care about your life Or are you picking a man who doesn’t give a fuck about you over people who brought you to this world and took care of you? Over your own safety? Are you that stupid?”

Lily asked. She sounded pissed but Arielle didn’t care.

“Yeah, I am stupid, I was stupid to let you talk me into a corner, I should have known you had plans to use me against Luciano which is why you want me to stay in the country, I was stupid but guess what? Not anymore, do whatever you want to do with those people, they don’t care about me anyway, why should I care if they die? Do whatever you want with them, I am leaving the country, if you want to come and get me, then do it, I am not scared of you, you know what? fuck you,”

Arielle yelled into the phone, she should never have allowed the sick woman to use her, her parents were on their own, she tried to protect them but she has done enough, at the end of the day, if she were to be the one in need of them, they would never show up.

“You are going to regret this, mark my words,”

Lily said before Arielle ended the call and threw the phone on the bed, she bent down and covered her face with her hands. She was so lost and confused, she couldn’t even think properly, what if Lily comes after her tonight? What will she do?

Arielle looked up in fear when her phone started ringing again, knowing who it will be that was calling her, she ignored it but after a few more nonstop calls, she got off the floor intending to turn the phone off without taking the call, her eyes widen in shock when she saw who it was that was calling her.

“What does he want now,”

She let out in sadness, she didn’t know if to pick up the call or just let it keep ringing, she watched the phone as her fingers trailed to the answer button, she wanted to hear his voice but she was scared that he would have more awful words to say to her, what if she takes the call and Lily finds out she spoke to him, that will make her more persistent, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t do it, in the end, she just let the phone keep ringing without taking the call, she didn’t turn the phone of, she just went and laid on the bed with the phone in hand, he continued calling until she fell asleep to the ringing of the phone.

Arielle was woken by a loud bang on the door, it took a moment for her to remember where she was and she jumped out of bed in fear once she remembered, the banging on the door didn’t stop, she couldn’t tell who was out there and she was too scared to go find out, what if it was Lily or her people? She had nothing to defend herself with and in this part of the world, nobody cares enough to stop and help when bad things happen to others so she just stood there rooted in fear until she heard the familiar voice.

“Arielle, I know you are in there, please open the door,”

She heard Luciano say and all her fears melted away, she ran to the door and opened it, and was dragged into a hug before she could say anything.
